Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a linear, action-adventure game that takes our unlikely band of heroes across the cosmos in their attempt to stop the villainous Church of Truth.

But in all cases, every journey has an end. Before long, you’ll have shut down the Church of Truth and saved the galaxy. So what do you do now? Well, even though Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a bit tight on its storytelling and there’s not a whole lot that can be adjusted, there are still plenty of reasons why you should continue playing with this ragtag team.

The following list contains entries that might have spoilers regarding the game's story. If you haven't finished the main campaign, proceed with caution.

5 Collect the Outfits

Although changing outfits cause no effects on the overall gameplay, collecting the different outfits and swapping them throughout another playthrough will spice things up. There are a total of 45 outfits in the game, including the standard ones you start with. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy does not have any microtransactions, so obtaining all the outfits in the game is doable.

There are a few notable outfits in the game, such as the Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Nova Corps, but the ones that might catch your attention the most are the outfits based on the actual movie. If you’re a huge MCU fan, slap on the outfits designed from the Guardians of the Galaxy film and pretend you’re not just Star-Lord saving the galaxy, but also Chris Pratt.

4 Find all of the Collectibles

Aside from collecting the various outfits in the game, there are also special Guardians collectibles for each member of the team. While you might be inclined to find all the collectibles for trophies or achievements, they’re also meant to flush out more details of the story.

After finding each collectible, you’ll receive a notification once aboard the Milano that new conversations are available with the guardian associated with the collectible. You can access each team member’s cabin and pick up the collectible, which will prompt the conversation. Collecting these trinkets will lead to learning more about these characters and enhancing your overall experience.

3 Replay Individual Chapters

Once you’ve completed Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, you’ll have the option to select specific chapters to replay. This is extremely useful in finding collectibles and outfits that you’ve might’ve missed during your initial playthrough. Even if you finish the game missing outfits or collectibles, replaying the chapters and finding the remaining rewards will stay connected to your overall savefile.

The other benefit to freely replaying specific chapters is simply experiencing certain parts of the game without having to go through the entire campaign. There are a ton of key moments through the game that are worth playing through again, though you won’t be fully upgraded as you might have been at the end of the game.

2 Choose Different Outcomes

Despite Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy being a strictly linear adventure, there are choices throughout the game that can affect certain outcomes. While each decision does not impact the overall story as a whole, there are certain smaller ripple effects that can either make your experience a bit easier or also reveal additional information on some characters.

By utilizing the replay chapter or new game plus feature, you’ll have the ability to go back and see what would’ve happened if you chose the opposite of what you did the first time. Think of it like the Marvel What If show on Disney+; what if you chose to hide the space llama instead of the tech when Nova Corps intercepted you outside the Quarantine Zone?

1 New Game Plus

In somewhat of a surprise, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy gives you the option of starting a new game plus. By initiating this option, it will erase your completed game save file, but it won’t erase everything you’ve achieved through the campaign.

You’ll still have access to all the outfits you’ve discovered to change up the guardians’ appearance in this second playthrough, as well as all of the upgraded perks and combat abilities. So, if you plan on completing a new game plus run, it might be a good idea to bump up the difficulty for an extra challenge. The only things that won’t transfer in the new game plus are the number of credits you have and the different elemental abilities for Star-Lord’s guns.
